Great footage from the end of the diesel era in Belgium, only a few non electrified lines with class 41 DMUs remain.

Great memories of being a trainspotter there at that time and in the green era 11 years prior in the early eighties. This footage is amazing.

6:41 is that steam heating? Amazed it was still kicking around in Belgium at the turn of the millenium, think the last ones in the UK were the mid 1980s.

Yes - 5168 was on a special here and was one of the few remaining 51s with operative steam heat, but a number of the type 62 also retained this ability for regular services,

A bit shaky sometimes but nice footage of an era gone now.
